Spare wheel stolen - need a replacement winch

Having procrastinated about getting a spare wheel protector, rather predictably some scrote has cut the winch wire and made off with my wheel. I’ll find a replacement wheel on ebay and invest in a protector. I need to replace the winch – there appear to be loads on the market at various price points, does anyone have a recommendation on the one I should buy?

Many thanks

James

whatever you get, don't test it without a load on it. It WILL snag on the spool.

Thanks, I'm all sorted now.

Uncle Ray sent me a RLD spare wheel protector which is also fitted - thank you - simple and effective design and dead easy to fit. Should have done it as soon as I bought the car...if you have not got one yet, I strongly recommend you invest and save yourself the hassle and cost of replacing your spare & winch when the inevitable happens.
